To all whom it may comer-n:

Be it known tha' tl, 0. PER- RIN'S, a citizen of the United States (if America, and a resident of New York, in

the county of New York and State of New York, hav inventeda new and use'iiul Improyem'ent in a Shaving Stick Holder, of whicll the 'liollowing is 'sj'aeci'lication.

invention i'elate's to that class at devices used to hold *a stick *ef shaving soap and into which and froin which "the soap may be insmtdl and removed,

An object of my inwen'tion is to provide a device of this type wherein the stick of "soap is positively precluded against rnovement in relation to the holder.

c Another object of invention is to provide a devi'ce of this type, adapted to pred'ludeacciciental separation of the from the holder.

Another object of my invention is to simplify and facilitate the removal of'the stub of soap left in the holder after the ma-"jor part of the soa p has 'been used.

These and other "objects wre o'btai ned 'loy inean's described herd-wand disclosed in the accompanying drawings, which:

The-cap 1 comprises/1a base QB from which,

extends a cylindrical flange 4, the upper end of which is turned inwardly, whereby a bead 5 is formed about the cylindrical wall of the cap. Screw threads 6 are formed upon the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the cap and are adapted to be engaged by the screw threads 7 formed on the interior surface of the cylindrical case 8 which is adapted to be placed over the stick of soap. The base of the cap has a cylindrical perforation 9 through which a thumb or finger may be inserted and be brought into engagement upon the lower or outer face 10 of the base 12 of the cup "2 when said cup .is mounted upon ither iap. The oop comprises a *base 12 from which extends a cylindrical wall 13 having sl-i-ts 1 L formed in it, said slits extending longitudinally "of the cylindrical wall .13, VVrllBIG- by spring lingers 15 extending from the base 12, a re termed. iFingers15 are spaced trom one another by the fapro'ns 24: formed in the wall 18, as shown in Fig. 3. The

the inner iiace 21 01 the base the :capythe :bead 5 formed on the cap will he in the :g rOdVeQO. The lugs 16 on tlie'fin ge'rs are "of such length th at theirkim'ier tends :must. enter :into the stick of soap in orde'r that the bead on the cap may :enter the .wgroovesi-on :the fingers, Zthereby positively securing the soap in the cup. The ridges :17 and :18, Whichfiin the assembled, eondition of the :holder, lie on oppositesides of' the bead 5,1preo-lfude accidemal separation of the cup and ;cap. \Vhen it is desired to remove the cap from thecapya thumb'or finger is inserted through the t periio-ration :in 'the'cap :and .the pressure exerted upon thebottom of theTcupcauses the low-er ridgesvl7 to besprung by the bead ion the "cap, itliereby permitting withdrawalofthe ieup from the cap. -l he,;-fingers :are released from their grip upon the soap by grasping the upper ends of the fingers and moving them away from the soap, whereupon the stub of soap remaining in the cup, may be removed therefrom.

hat I claim is:

1. In a holder of the class described the combination of a cap comprising a cylindrical flange and a bead formed on the flange, a cup adapted to be inserted in the cap and comprising a base, fingers extending from the base, and lugs formed on the fingers adapted to enter a shaving stick disposed upon the base of the cup, the bead adaptedto enter a shaving stick, the bead on the cap resisting withdrawal of the-last mentioned means.

3. In a holder of the class described the combination with a cap comprising a base, a

' flange extending from the base, and a bead formed at the free end of theflange, of a I cup adapted to be inserted in the cap and comprising a base, fingers on the base extending in substantial parallelism, lugs at the free ends of the fingers overlying the base of the cup, and a pair of outwardly extending ridges formed between the ends of the fingers and between which the bead is adapted to lie when the cup is disposedwithin the cap.

4. In a holder of the class described the combination witha cap comprising a perforated base, a flange extending from the base, and abead formed at the free end of the flange, of a cup adapted to be inserted in the cap and comprising a base adapted to form a closure for the perforation in the base, fingers extending from the base of the cup in substantial parallelism wvith the flange, lugs at the free ends of the fingers overlying the base of the cup, the fingers having grooves intermediate their ends in which the bead may engage when the cup is, inserted in th cap.

5. In a holder ofthe class described the combination with a cap comprising a perforated base, a flange extending from the base, and a bead formed at the free end of the flange, of a cup adapted to be inserted in the cap and comprising a base adapted to form a closure for the perforation'in the base, fingers extending from the base of the cup in substantial parallelism with the flange, lugs at the free ends of the fingers overlying the bas of the cup, and a pair of ridges formed on the fingers intermediate their ends between which the bead is adapted to lie when the cup is inserted in the cap.

6. In a holder of the class described the "combination with a cap comprising a base, a flange extending from the base, and a bead formed at the free end of the flange, of a cup adaptedto be inserted in the cap and comprising a base, fingers on the base extending 7. In a holder of the class described the combination with a cap comprising a perforated base, a flange extending from the base and carrying an inwardly turned bead at the free end thereof, a cover having an open,

end, means on the open end of the cover and complementary means on theflange of the cap for mounting the cover on the cap, a cup adapted to be inserted in the cap and to form a closure for the perforation in the cap,

comprising a base, fingers extending from the base, lugs at the free ends of the fingers overlying the base of the cup, and means on the fingers for removably mounting the cup in the cap.

8. In a holder of the class described the V combination otacup and a cup shaped cap of substantially equal depth, the cap adapted to receive and seat the cup and having a central opening for permitting access to the cup for ejecting the cup from the cap, the cup comprising fingers substantially concentric with the side walls of the cap and the cup and terminating adjacent the upper edge of the cap when the cup is seated in the cap, and a bead structure at the upper edges of the cap and fingers retaining the upper ends of the fingers in gripping engagement upon a semi-plastic stick received within the cup, and for holding the cup within the cap.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 10th day of January, 1922.
